We'll fly from Accra to Kumasi to dive deep into Ashanti culture.
Akwasidae Festival
Witness the amazing Akwasidae Festival, one of the most important and historically significant festivals in all of Africa. The Akwasidae rituals and events honor the ancestors and allows Asante chiefs and their subjects to pay homage to the Asantehene, the king of all of the Asante.
While at Manhyia Palace, explore the Museum, which is filled with countless relics and artifacts that highlight the richness of the history and culture of the Asante people. Stop for photos at the Okomfo Anokye Monument, dedicated to the traditional priest who “conjured” from the skies the famous Golden Stool that unified the Asante people.
Traditional National Ceremony
Participate in a Traditional Naming Ceremony, where you will be given a traditional Asante name based on your day of birth and welcomed into your “adopted” family with dance and celebration.
Woodcarving Village Visit
Visit the woodcarving village of Ahwiaa where you will see craftsmen carving wood masterpieces; Ntonso, famous for its kente and adinkra cloth; and Adanwomase, one of the most popular kente weaving villages.
